ELEPHANTINE WISDOM.
Gases In Which They Have Construct
cd Special Tools for SpecialWork.

One evening, soon after my arrival in
eastern Assam, and while the 1--WE ele-
plants were being fed opposite the
bungalow, observed a young and
latelyacaught one step up to a bamboo
fence and quietly. pull one Of the stakes.
Placing it under its foot it broke of a
piece with It's trunk and, afterlifting it
to Its mouth, threw 1t away. 1t repeat.
ed this twice or thrice, and then drew
another stake. Seeing that the bamboo
was old and dry, l asked the reason or
this, and was told to wait and see what
the elephant would do. i, .sss4,a,
at last it seemed to get O piece that
suited him and, holding it in, the trunk
firmly and stepping the left foreleg we'll
forward, it passed the piece OF bamboo
under the armpit, 80 to speak, and be-
gan to scratch With some force.
Ny surprise reached its climax when |
saw a large elephant leech fall to the
ground quite six inches long and thick
as ones finger, and which, from it's po-
sition, could not be easily detached
without the scraper, which was dellb.
erately made by the elephant. Isubse-
quentiy found that this wasa commo u
occurrence. Such scrapers ars used BIZ
every elephant daily. .4i& a
On another occasion, when travelling
at time of the year when, flies are Sc
tormenting to an elephant. noticed
that tho one | rode had no fan or whisp
to beat them of with. The driver, at
my order, slackened pace and allowed
her to go to the side OF the road, when
for some moments she moved along,
rummaging the smaller jungle on the
banks. AT last she came to q cluster
OF young shoots we'll 'branched, and
after feeling among them ana selecting
one raised her trunk and neatly stripped
down the stem. taking off the lower
branches and leaving u fine bunch on
the top. She deliberately cleaned it
down several times and then laying
hold at the lower end broke off a beauty
full fan or switch, about five feet long,
handle included. With this she kept
the flies at bay, tapping them of on
each side. giiy E3si t,i ..,p; s;
Say what we may,, these are both
really bona-ade implements, and intel.
Hlgently made for q definite purpose.

Amongst the English squadron was a

Z Girls need OF Courage.

r There is not one virtue in the calendar
which girls need so much as courage.
liza boy Is afraid OF anything lie Is
pretty soon shamed out of It. But,
oddly enough, his sister is sheltered and
caressed when she shows some silly
little alarm Or other. And In conse-
quence of this timid mind growing up
without help and discipline it is Molly,
alas oftener than Jack, who will sit
quietly at her desk in school and let
another mischief maker, no more
guilty, stand up and face the blame.
1t is no true bravery to seek out danger;
but, when q risk comes, and a cool
headed child makes the best Of 1t, why,
that Is SO much gold capital in the ex-
perience Of life.
When we see so few women really
sound and steady we cannot help think
ing that itis,because they never learned,
As girls, to command their nerves, and
to be anything in this world sooner
than shrinkers or tremblers. "A "brave
girl" is certain to have the right streak
OF honor and truth in her, and the
gentleness which goes with force OF
character, and a firm body to match
her firm heart. We all love such
one. md, oh, how seldom we come
across heri
But for a miserable little coward
who screams and runs for mouse, or
COW. or, a kind, big dog prancing by,
or who hesftates to town up" In the
face Of unpleasant consequences, this
contributor at least has the very shah
hiest sort OF respect.

ENTERTAINED,

even at that figure many were unable
to procure conveyances. At all of the
houses named below elaborate .prepar-
